“ humans and their livestock now comprise about 96% of all mammal biomass on Earth. All other mammals – whales, sea lions, bears, elephants, badgers, shrews, deer, bear, cougars, rats, wolves, and all the rest – are about 4.2%.”
There’s no way to adjust consumption and economics to make that a reasonable balance for the planet. It’s an insane human-centric sick belief that it’s ok that other mammals have nowhere to live. It’s morally repugnant.
